[Hiring] Senior Integration Architect @Orbis

Role Description

Orbis is seeking a Senior Integration Architect to lead integration delivery within one of three rotating integration teams supporting an ongoing program for a government client in the Middle East. In this role, you will:

• Design, build, deploy, and validate data integrations (sensors, C2 systems, and operational feeds) across Orbis data governance and data analysis products.
• Work directly with customer engineering and operations teams to map their network topology, data sources, and system dependencies.
• Mentor Integration Engineers on your team and serve as the first escalation point for technical issues.
• Maintain integration quality across your assigned domain.
• Orchestrate and manage both on-premises data platform environments and cloud-connected infrastructure.
• Ensure the platform infrastructure is properly configured, connected, and maintained.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone ready to shape how integration work gets done.

Travel: This is a remote role with extended travel to the Middle East, including time spent in geopolitical hot zones up to 40% of the time. Please apply if you are willing to meet this requirement.

Qualifications

• 5-8 years of professional software engineering experience with a focus on system integrations, data pipelines, and distributed data platforms.
• Proficiency in Go (preferred) or Python for integration development.
• Demonstrated ability to drive an integration from requirement through production deployment as a team lead and technical decision-maker.
• Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code and deployment tooling (e.g., Terraform, Ansible).
• Working knowledge of on-premises big data platforms (e.g., Hadoop, Spark, Hive, Presto).
• Experience deploying and integrating within cloud-native environments (e.g., GCP VPC, BigQuery, Dataflow, GKE).
• Experience connecting on-premises and cloud environments under security constraints.
• Familiarity with access control, identity management, and network security controls.
• Experience debugging complex, cross-system integration failures in production or near-production environments.
• Track record of mentoring junior engineers through code review, pairing, or technical guidance.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills in distributed, remote, cross-functional teams.
• Comfort operating as the technical point of contact in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.

Requirements

• Proven ability to lead customer technical discovery.
• Familiarity with defense data standards and protocols.
• Track record of designing integration patterns for undocumented or poorly documented source systems.
• Background with military, law enforcement, or intelligence community operations.
• Understanding of service mesh concepts, mTLS, and zero-trust network architectures.
• Familiarity with edge-native deployment patterns and constrained operational environments.
• Background in customer enablement, technical training, or knowledge transfer in field environments.
• Fluency with AI-assisted development tooling as part of daily engineering practice.

Benefits

• Real ownership over outcomes that matter.
• Opportunity to build technology that gives the United States Government and its allies a genuine decision advantage.
• Competitive retirement matching.
• PTO policy that encourages real time off.
• Comprehensive benefits package designed to meet the diverse needs of employees and their families.
